Comments from a WoW candidate

“From my interview to the start of the course the staff were very friendly. I normally feel very threatened by new people but I didn't feel this way with them. The environment was good and relaxed except for those hard seats!

What we learned was great I had no idea how much went into a CV. Since then I have remaking my CV every two weeks. Just a few changes can make a difference that was one of the biggest things I learned.

The mock interview was very informative it highlighted a few flaws in my interview technique. I didn’t realise that having a good weakness could be great for an interview

I got the opportunity to improve my maths a lot. I feel confident when going to an interview that I would be able to do the maths questions now. We were taken out to sign up for agencies for jobs which was a very good thing. I signed up with several agencies which can only help to broaden my job opportunities.

In my opinion, if you want a job, Workpays will do everything in their power to help. No matter what problems you they will do everything they can to get you a job”

Comments from Natasha Griffiths

“Workpays have really helped me gain the confidence I lost due to my depression. I feel they have helped me by getting me doing activities that have made me more confident and move forward with my life. Helen, Sally and Tina have always been very helpful and taught me a lot around Maths, English and Employability skills.

Donna has helped and supported me with getting me work experience through a placement at B&M. I have really enjoyed my time with Workpays and my time in placement at B&M, I have learned lots of new skills and feel much more confident & proud of myself. The skills I have learned have helped me secure an apprenticeship.”
